Many newspapers quoted Conservative MP for Monmouth David Davies.

BuzzFeed News reached out to the Home Office to confirm the children's ages.

Instead, a spokesperson pointed us towards the background notes, which state that all children brought to the UK under the fast-track system must have "provided credible and clear documentary evidence proving their claimed age".

The guidance notes state the individual will be assessed to determine whether they have "a physical appearance/demeanour which does not strongly suggest they are significantly over 18 years of age".

In addition, all of those who arrived in the UK yesterday were subjected to a "Merton compliant age assessment" establishing their age, which must be signed off by two social workers.

Many people also commented by sharing pictures of themselves as teens.
